General Rental Terms and Conditions

1. General Provisions

These General Rental Terms and Conditions (also available at www.tsf.fr) exclusively govern all rental agreements entered into between GROUPE TSF and its subsidiaries and their clients, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing and signed by GROUPE TSF.
Placing an order implies full acceptance of these General and, where applicable, Special Rental Conditions. These terms supersede any general purchasing conditions of the client and may not, under any circumstances, be overridden by them. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Conditions shall prevail over the General Conditions. The client acknowledges having read and accepted these General and Special Rental Conditions without reservation.

2. Rental terms

a) Opening an account :

Customers who have an ongoing relationship with GROUPE TSF hold an account in its accounting records. Any customer who does not hold an account may apply to open one. This is conditional on the provision of accounting and financial information, enabling the granting of a maximum credit limit.
These elements are :

KBIS less than three months old
Bank details
Company Letterhead

Credit limits are replenished only after actual receipt and clearance of payments, regardless of payment method.

b) Ordering :

An order is defined as follows:

Details of the rented equipment
Rental period (pick-up and return dates)
Price and payment terms
Name and title of the person signing the purchase order

The rental period is expressed in days and begins on the day the equipment is collected and ends on the day it is returned to our premises (during working days and hours).
Any day started is due. Orders are placed in accordance with standard practice and must be sent by post, fax or e-mail. In the event of cancellation less than seven working days before the start of the rental period, 50% of the total amount due will be invoiced.

c) Rented equipment :

Equipment made available to the client is deemed to be in proper working condition and delivered complete with all accessories.
The client may not remove or conceal ownership labels indicating that the equipment belongs to GROUPE TSF. The client undertakes to take all necessary measures to safeguard the equipment. In particular, outside shooting hours, overnight, and on holidays or non-working days, vehicles containing rented equipment must be parked in a secured or locked garage. Equipment rentals are authorized within the European Union only. Any removal outside EU territory requires prior written authorization from GROUPE TSF.
Under no circumstances may the customer entrust or sublet the equipment to a third party.
Under no circumstances GROUPE TSF shall not be held liable for:

Incidents causing production shutdown
partial or total destruction of the negative or of files requiring reshooting.

For vehicle rentals, clients must refer to the Special Conditions of TSF Véhicules (below), which they acknowledge and expressly accept. Loading and unloading of trucks remain the sole responsibility of the client.

d) Delivery of rented equipment :

GROUPE TSF’s primary obligation is to make available, on time, the equipment listed in the purchase order. This is formalized by a release form signed by both parties.
Signature of this document by any representative of the client:
-Engages the client’s responsibility
-Confirms proper functioning of the equipment
-Constitutes unconditional acceptance of these General and Special Rental Conditions
Loading of vehicles and delivery to shooting locations are the client’s responsibility. GROUPE TSF reserves the right to charge for loading performed by its staff.

e) Use of rented equipment :

The customer must not make any modification whatsoever to the rented equipment, and must not use it in any way that does not comply with normal conditions of use. It is forbidden for the customer, without prior authorization from GROUPE TSF, to install accessories, ancillary parts or any other device on the equipment.
The client agrees to use the equipment with due care and diligence.

f) Return of rented equipment :

The customer undertakes to return the equipment on the agreed date, and during working days and hours, with all accessories, in a condition identical to that in which it was delivered. The rental company will only accept the return of the equipment after it has been checked that it is in good working order. GROUPE TSF undertakes to inform the customer within five working days of the return of the equipment of any irregularity, breakage, defect or latent defect which may have occurred during use. Any delay in the scheduled return of the equipment, without prior written authorization from GROUPE TSF, will be invoiced on the basis of the current rate, to the exclusion of any commercial discount. In the event of non-return of the equipment on the agreed date, and after formal notice has remained unsuccessful beyond a period of 8 days, the rented equipment will be considered, at the sole discretion of GROUPE TSF, to have been sold to the customer. It will be invoiced at the selling price calculated on the basis of the manufacturer’s current catalog price. This invoice is payable on receipt.

The client agrees to return the equipment on the agreed date during business hours, with all accessories, in the same condition as delivered.
Acceptance of return is subject to verification of proper functioning. GROUPE TSF will notify the client within five (5) business days of any irregularity, damage, defect, or hidden issue discovered.
Any late return without prior written authorization will be invoiced at the current rate without discount. If equipment is not returned and remains outstanding eight (8) days after formal notice, GROUPE TSF may consider it sold and invoice it at the manufacturer’s current catalog price, payable upon receipt.
Claims must be submitted by registered mail within five (5) days of return validation. No claims will be accepted thereafter.
Customs and transit formalities and transport costs are exclusively the client’s responsibility.

3. Billing

The price to be paid by the customer is calculated on the basis of the tariff in force at the time of the order. The rental rate applies to equipment picked up and returned to the place of departure. All rates shown in our catalog are exclusive of VAT and insurance, and are subject to change without notice. For rental periods of more than 5 working days, invoicing will be on a weekly basis. For all other rentals of less than 5 days, invoices will be issued on the day the equipment is returned. Invoicing will be determined according to departure and return slips, validated by GROUPE TSF. No reduction in invoicing may be granted as a result of forced immobilization of the equipment, for any reason whatsoever, and in particular due to customs difficulties, strikes, seizure, etc. GROUPE TSF shall be entitled to invoice the rental until the physical return of the equipment to its premises, whatever the cause of the delay in its return. All customs formalities and the delays they may entail are the sole responsibility of the customer.

4. Payment

Payment terms :

Payments are made on receipt of invoice by any means of payment, except by prior agreement. Customers with an account may opt for immediate payment, in which case they will benefit from a discount of 1% per month on the net amount invoiced. Invoices under €1,000 are payable upon pickup. Immediate payment means payment within 8 days of the invoice date.

Penalties for late payment :

In the event of payment beyond the normal payment deadline, GROUPE TSF will charge the customer late payment interest at 1.5 x the current legal rate, payable on receipt of invoice (law no. 92 – 1442 of 31/12/92).

Payment default :

Default of payment :

any change in due date
failure to pay a bill of exchange when due
total or partial lack of funds on a cheque
unjustified delay in sending an accepted draft or cheque.

Any failure to pay as defined above will result in :

immediate payment of all sums due for any reason whatsoever.
Late payment interest from the date of formal notice.

All costs incurred by GROUPE TSF, with a view to recovering sums due, are to be borne by the customer and will be the subject of a separate invoice payable on receipt: lawyers’ fees and expenses, court registry fees, bailiffs’ fees, agents’ fees, experts’ fees, etc…

5. Deposit

For all customers, a deposit (check, cash, credit card) of a minimum of 5,000 euros, depending on the nature and value of the equipment rented, will be required before the equipment is delivered, and may be cashed at the convenience of GROUPE TSF. For all foreign customers, a cash deposit equal to 1.5 x the rental price will be required, even in the case of prepayment.

6. Insurance

The equipment is insured in return for payment of a compulsory premium set by TSF according to the nature and duration of the project and the amount of the rental plus a deductible in the event of a claim giving entitlement to cover. The deductible per claim is €2,500.00 excluding VAT. However, the deductible applicable per claim in the event of theft is 10%, with a minimum of €5,000.00 excluding VAT (except for TSF Véhicule, see special conditions below).

We insure the insured property mentioned in these Special Provisions, exclusively against the following risks:

– Fire, explosion, lightning strikes and elements projected by lightning;

In the event of a claim not covered by GROUPE TSF (see “exclusions” below), the cost of repair or replacement of the equipment, as well as any related damage, will be borne in full by the customer, who will immediately pay the corresponding invoice.

In the event of a claim, including during transport by a duly qualified company, whatever the cause and circumstances, and notwithstanding the establishment of responsibilities, a detailed statement drawn up on the customer’s headed paper must be sent to GROUPE TSF within a maximum of 48 hours, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, accompanied, where applicable, by a copy of the complaint lodged with the police or gendarmerie.

In the event of damage, the rental period will be counted until the equipment is repaired, but this period may not exceed one month. Repairs may be carried out either by GROUPE TSF’s technical teams, or by the manufacturer or a manufacturer’s authorized representative. In the event of theft, loss or total loss, the rental period will be counted until the customer produces the official declaration of loss, increased by a flat rate of one month to take into account the time required to replace the equipment.

Exclusions :

The following are excluded from the scope of insurance coverage, and are not eligible for reimbursement:

-Production risks

-Material losses

-Theft without breaking and entering or aggravated assault

-Theft of equipment left in an unattended vehicle or parked in an enclosed area

-Losses resulting from a failure to supervise or guard the equipment rented to the customer and in his custody

-Claims arising from misuse or improper use of equipment.

-Claims resulting from use by unqualified or unauthorized personnel.

– Claims arising from foreseeable difficult operating conditions, such as air or sea conditions, rain, waterfalls, sprinkling, high humidity, presence of sand or salt, extreme temperatures, dirty or unhealthy filming locations, stunts, etc., must be specifically agreed in writing by TSF. The customer must demonstrate that all reasonable precautions have been taken to avoid the loss.

In the event of refusal by TSF, the customer must take out additional insurance with his own insurers, covering all specific production risks. Failing this, the customer will be billed for any damage, destruction, replacement, repair or cleaning.

Important information:

In the event that the customer does not wish to subscribe to TSF insurance, he/she must provide proof of equipment insurance (liability not acceptable) issued by a reputable third-party insurer attesting to insurance coverage at least equivalent to that offered by TSF.

In order to study the possibilitý of granting this deletion, we thank you for submitting a certificate (extract from the insurance contract) specifying the following information and conditions:

– The insurance is of the “special risks insurance” or “equipment insurance” type.

– The amount of damage covered must be at least that of the value of the equipment rented by TSF.

The following conditions must be specified on the certificate provided by your insurer:

– If the equipment is less than 2 years old, TFS equipment must be reimbursed at replacement value”.

– If the date of commissioning of WT equipment is more than 2 years, it must be reimbursed at the expert’s estimate of the cost of replacing or repairing the destroyed or damaged parts, based on the latest known prices.

The indemnity claimed by TSF from its customer will be :

In the event of a partial loss: the amount of repair and transport costs plus a 10% administrative charge
-In the event of a total loss: depending on the date on which the insured asset was put into service on the day of the loss:

If the date does not exceed 2 years: at replacement value as new plus 10% administrative charge
If the date exceeds 2 years: at market value plus 10% administrative charge. The depreciatioń used to determine the market value may not exceed :

– 8% (per cent) per year from the^3rd year (first 2 years without depreciation)

– 80% (percent) depreciatioń to total replacement value.

It is agreed that in the event of it being impossiblé to replace a part (lens, electronic component) or all or part of the damaged insured property due to the fact that it is no longer manufactured or that replacement parts are no longer available, (in particular with Vintage lenses that are no longer manufactured) the customer will be liable for reimbursement of the amount assessed́ by expert opinion, of the costs of replacing or repairing the destroyed or damaged parts on the basis of the last known “market prices”. In the specific case of series of “Vintage” optics and their potentially irreplaceable individual focal lengths, the disappearance or destruction of one of the focal lengths of a series rendering the whole commercially inoperable, TSF reserves the right to re-invoice the whole series evaluated by expert opinion based on the replacement value at the “market price” of the series.

GROUPE TSF does not guarantee in any way whatsoever the content, data, rushes, visual and sound elements that may be stored on the photochemical, magnetic or computer media that have been supplied by it for sale or rental. Once the material has been made available to the customer, GROUPE TSF does not guarantee the proper functioning of the electronic or computer equipment used to store the data or digital signals. The TSF GROUP, whether or not it is called upon to handle them, does not guarantee the integrity of digital data that may be entrusted to it by the customer.

Purpose of the service

Groupe TSF grants the Customer, who accepts it, the right to connect, for the period defined in the special conditions, his computer equipment (hereinafter referred to as “the Equipment”) to the network which has access to the Internet network. The Access Service is not an information or telematic service, but only a connection service between the Equipment and the network for the purpose of data transmission between networks within the Internet. The Customer is therefore solely responsible for receiving and sending data to the various information services and sites on the Internet. He/she is identified by a logical address. This access is only possible via a WiFi link. However, wired access may be provided depending on commercial agreements between the TSF Group and the customer.

How to connect

Connection to the Access Service is only authorized on condition that the Customer uses the identifier established and supplied by Groupe TSF. TSF Group reserves the right to change this identifier and/or password for technical or security reasons. This new identifier will be provided by the site manager present on site.

The Customer undertakes to keep his/her login and password confidential. Any connection to the Access Service or transmission of data using the Customer’s password and/or identifier will be deemed to have been made by the Customer. In the event of loss or misappropriation of the Customer’s password and/or identifier, the Customer shall not be held liable to TSF Group, in particular for misuse, until one working day following receipt by TSF Group of a registered letter.

Obligations – responsibilities

TSF Group undertakes to use the means at its disposal, of which the Customer has been informed, to make the Service available, subject to maintenance periods and possible breakdowns. TSF Group is subject, for the provision of the Service, to an obligation of means, to the exclusion of any obligation of result, which stops at the output of the IP routers installed on its premises. In particular, TSF Group does not guarantee the transfer rates and response times of information circulating from its network to services and sites on the Internet or to the Customer’s computer equipment.

TSF Group has no control over the content, nature or characteristics of data transiting through the network at the Customer’s initiative or destination. Nevertheless, TSF Group reserves the right to interrupt the Service, after informing the Customer and in the absence of a satisfactory response from the latter within 24 hours, without compensation and without prejudice to the sums due under the Contract, when :

Groupe TSF may be notified by third parties that the Customer is not respecting the code of good conduct for Internet users, or is using the Internet in a manner that is contrary to public morality or order, or in such a way as to cause prejudice to third parties;

If the TSF Group observes acts of piracy, counterfeiting or attempted illicit use of data circulating on the network caused by or originating from the connection with the Customer, including when the TSF Group observes simultaneous connections to the same identifier;

in the event of non-payment on the due date of any of the sums owed by the Customer to Groupe TSF under the present terms and conditions and in the event of return by the bank of the payment vouchers for non-payment.

Equipment connected to the network is the sole responsibility of the Customer. Consequently, Groupe TSF is in no way responsible for any damage that may occur to this equipment as a result of its connection.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the liability of the TFS Group by virtue of its services shall not exceed the amount of the subscription received by the TFS Group up to the date of the event giving rise to its liability. In no event shall TSF Group be liable for loss of profits, loss of data or data or the price and cost of procurement of substitute products or services, or for any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, damages resulting in any way from this Agreement, whether or not TSF Group has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
